All Dressed Up Birthday Card

My sister's birthday is the day after my son's birthday, so normally she either gets a REALLY late card or something I have already stamped.  This year, though, I managed to get her card made and sent the day before her birthday.  I loved the way it turned out:

I CASED this card from Frenchie, but I think she had CASED it from another person.

After we made our card, we cut the flap off the end of a clear envelope, and attached it to a white gift bag, like this:

We used sticky tape, so that it would be good and strong.  We taped it on all four sides to attach it.  Then we slipped our birthday card into the clear envelope and have both a decorated gift bag and a handmade card!  (I saw this done at the Milwaukee Regionals.)  Here is a picture of how our finished bag looks:

Thanks for looking!

Happy stampin and scrappin!
